Abstract
In recent months, the furor over the release of Karla Homolka has sparked heated debate and calls for a review of the Canadian justice system. The following paper examines three contentious areas of the Canadian legal system that seem in desperate need of a reassessment. The first of these revolves around the growing perception that the Canadian judiciary is arrogant, perhaps even irresponsible, and simply unresponsive to the concerns of ordinary Canadians. The second area revolves around the treatment of aboriginal peoples within the Canadian justice system and the third and last area revolves around the difficulty that Canadian law-makers and justices are having in reconciling the somewhat amorphous multiculturalism they embrace in theory with the fundamental liberal democratic tenets that under-gird the Canadian justice system.

Abstract
This paper explains that the human capital theory presents humans as a commodities that either attract or dissuade potential employers. The author points out that the success of the Canadian training system, whose goal is to prepare individuals for existing or future openings, depends on an accurate view of economic trends for various kinds of workers and skill sets. The paper states that the Canadian training system continues to refer to ideas of the 1970s or 1980s that becoming qualified in technical fields, presuming one's hard work and ability, will earn a secure job paying high wages and benefits; however, the Canadian training system is not geared to the problem of how to ensure labor flexibility and improved skills and education development of kinds suiting capital in the present labor market.

Adjustments to be Made
Planning a Future
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Canadians are given a myth of needing to prepare for the new economy; whereas, the new economy seems to need semi-skilled or non-specialist workers and when special skills are needed employers can seek cheap skilled labor supplies abroad, in the well established pattern of international outsourcing. Most jobs that are being created in Canada are low-wage and low-security positions with low-skilled labor most in demand. Of course, this is interesting to reflect upon given an ambitious industry on the part of training colleges, public and private, to suggest that success lies in undertaking new training of some recognized kind."

Outline:
Introduction
Background of Frenk's Policy Framework
Canada's Healthcare Systems
Frenk's Theory of Fairness in Financial Contribution
Healthcare Consumer Studies in Canada
The Relationship Between Economics and Healthcare
Political Factors Influencing Healthcare in Canada
Canadian Perspective According to the News Media
The Increasing Amount of Elderly People in the Canadian
Healthcare System
The Competition in Canada
The Current State of Affairs of Healthcare in Canada
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The current state of affairs in Canada's healthcare systems are not very satisfying, both in the eyes of consumers and healthcare employees. The Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada has reported several intimidating results related to staffing in Canada's healthcare systems, including announcements that Halifax's Capital District health Authority is in need of 175 more nurses to meet the demands in its hospitals. Additionally, there are reports that the same health district authority canceled a successful liver-transplant program because there were no surgeons to perform the operations, with similar tragedies being reported across the country. Goals to improve this area of Canada's healthcare system would be that governments and healthcare employers should change laws, regulations, and employment agreements to better match healthcare practitioners' jobs to their training and that the government should invest in increasing the number of doctors and nurses working in Canada as well. Furthermore, governments should use financial incentives to better distribute healthcare practitioners between and within provinces."

Abstract
This paper engages in a discussion relating to the efficiency of the Canadian school system. It looks at how in Canada education is adapted according to each student's intellectual abilities and interests and how there is a certain interest in differencing and individualizing the learning way. The paper's hypothesis is that, although many things have been accomplished, there are still many flaws in the Canadian education system.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In Canada a class time period is 80 minutes which is 4 times more than what a student is able to maintain his concentration ability. Difficulty during classes is mostly maintaining concentration stable during the whole time. The attention phenomenon is outputted in a certain behavioural "picture" which is easily identified by the teacher with experience: the student that is paying attention may not move at all and have his eyes looking in the teachers? eyes and his ears placed on the sound waves trajectory , a face mimic which (dis)approves the teacher depending on the topic, while the student that does not pay attention has an empty, distant look in his eyes, talks to some peer about totally different things, is always agitated or bored, and pays a lot of attention towards the clock."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Given the evidence provided from this study the researcher finds the following true. Hypothesis (1) - proven true, given restorative justices seems to be the more commonly used tool for rehabilitating criminals in the population specified. Other data collected from the content analysis however suggests hypotheses (2), suggesting less relapse is likely among participants engaged in this form of justice remains questionable. Further research is needed to establish or refute this hypothesis, given changing trends in criminal justice and criminal behaviors in the future. Overall, the researcher argues despite some comments to the contrary, restorative justice, which aims to involve victims in the rehabilitation process and encourages convicted criminals at a young age to rehabilitate and participate in their community, remains an effective form of justice."

Individual Rights and Public Protection, 2008.
An analysis of individual rights versus public protection within the Canadian criminal justice system.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the balance between individual rights and public protection within the Canadian criminal justice system. It describes the importance of equilibrium between criminal justice agencies and their ability to apprehend and prosecute offenders as a form of crime control, and the right of citizens to be protected from potential abuses of this power, known as due process. The paper examines this balance and attempts to determine whether the public or the individual is losing out in the Canadian criminal justice system.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Major Themes Intrinsic to the Balance
Legal Recognition of Individual Rights
The Dangers of Imbuing Police with Too Much Power
In Favor of Individual Liberty and Accountability?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Without a doubt, the criminal justice system is not a perfect one. Infringements of individual rights often occur at the expense of concern for public safety. Actions that compromise individual often come from the police, who act on behalf of the Criminal Code and related charters. When one points to illegal actions of the police on behalf of justice enforcement, one must also remember that police are accountable for their actions, just like every other individual in society. It appears moreover that such monitoring is on the increase: for example, "accountability of systems of correction is an emerging trend" (ibid, p. 381) and some may say that increased accountability of the police is a defining criminal justice trend (Griffiths, "Introduction to the Criminal Justice System", Unit 4). This is evidence of the fact that the justice system, although imperfect, strives to imbue the police with the right amount of control and power so that the justice of both individuals and the public are simultaneously upheld."

The Steven Truscott Case: Justice, Culture and Social Order, 2008.
An analysis of the Steven Truscott case and its impact on the criminal justice system in Canada.

Abstract
This paper examines the legal issues emerging from the Steven Truscott case of the late 1950s, a case that broke new ground in shaping and shaking popular understandings of the Canadian criminal justice system. Particular attention is focused on social and cultural factors - especially attitudes towards sexuality and media pressure contributing to a rush to convict - as contributing elements to this case. Comparisons are drawn to a similar case in the United States at this time - the Sam Sheppard trial - to illustrate how this situation is not limited to Canadian law but, in fact, reflects wider social and cultural realities. Increasing anti-institutional sentiments in both Canada and the United States have contributed to a revisiting of both cases, sentiments that both cases also played a role in shaping.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Culture and Sexuality
Tunnel Vision and the Issue of Disclosure
The Sheppard Case, Media and Authority
Conclusion
From the Paper
"One of the major legal problems to emerge from the Truscott trial was one of disclosure or discovery. As the Daum story reveals, the culture of the 1950s - which placed much more faith in the honesty and integrity of law enforcement officials than today -allowed law enforcement officials to effectively bury evidence that may have been of assistance to the Truscott defense. Indeed, it may be argued that cases such as Truscott contributed to an evolution in criminal law in such matters: "Rules of evidence today oblige the Crown and the police to disclose all the relevant information they turn up in the course of their investigations" (Sher 299)."

Abstract
This paper states that he Canadian health care system is broken. The author compares the Canadian health care system in relation to health care in other nations. The paper concludes that NAFTA has not significantly affected the disparate levels of health care available its three member nations.
From the Paper
"The Canadian health care system is broken. This condition is not an unusual one in health care, unfortunately. Similar difficulties exist in countries with similar systems, such as Finland and Sweden. But broken health care systems are not limited to those countries with socialized medicine. Other countries, such as the United States and Mexico, also have difficulty providing consistently adequate health care in a timely fashion to all of their citizens. How do the problems within the Canadian health care correlate with those of other countries? "

Abstract
This paper was published as part of a policy forum comparing and contrasting the Canadian and U.S. health care systems. While an overall analysis of the paper would find many interesting and well-substantiated points of comparison between the health care systems of the two nations - all of which support the view of Canada as having the better system - there is a clear, nationalistic bias in the paper that somewhat diminishes its impact.

Women and the Canadian Old-Age Pension System, 2008.
A historical overview of the Canadian old-age pension system with regards to female employees.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the history of the entitlement of women in the Canadian old-age pension system. The paper points out that, although at first limited, the scope of Canadian women's enfranchisement in the successive public pensions schemes instituted between 1928 and 1985 did gradually widen, allowing more and more women to receive pensions. The working premise of the paper is that this progress was foremost the fruits of women's own labors, literally as well as figuratively.
Women in effect earned the right to a pension by earning a living in increasing numbers. The paper concludes that, in order to do this, women had to overcome the prevailing social mores, prejudices, institutional resistance and male-dominated cultural stereotypes.
From the Paper
"Data from the 1901 Canadian Census records a total male population of 2,066,000 and a total female population of 1,957,000. Out of this 1,618,000 men but only 215,000 women were gainfully employed; in other words, 78.3 percent of Canadian males earned their living by working whereas only 14.4 percent of Canadian women did. (Series D107) Some thirty years later, on the heels of Canada's first full-fledged public pension, 78.5 percent of Canada's 4,206,000 men and 19.4 percent of its women were gainfully employed. The raw numbers are particularly revealing: 3,296,000 men but only 752,000 women reported having a job. Yet, even if these results are skewered by the Great Depression, there were still over three times as many women working in 1931 than 1901."

Criminal Justice in Canada, 2008.
This paper discusses Section 718.2 (e) of the Criminal Code of Canada as a reflection of changing societal conditions.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The essay examines the advantages and disadvantages of Section 718.2 (e) of the Criminal Code of Canada. Some critics view it as an adequate option for sentencing criminals whereas others believe it directs the Western legal system away from adequate reform. The paper concludes that the code reflects the liberal character of the Canadian justice system.
Outline:
Introduction
Section 718.2 (e): Point/Counterpoint
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The arguments for Section 718.2 (e) most closely resemble Canadian legislative ideals. The point that Section 718.2 (e) only offers judges the option of employing sanctions other than confinement upon sentencing is demonstrative of the liberality of choice that is part of the Canadian justice system. The argument that Section 718.2 (e) is part of a general effort to represent enlightenment and a real effort to address the problem of Aboriginal overrepresentation in correctional institutes is one which is also particularly relevant to Canadian legal thinking."
